The United States has seized another oil tanker as part of its effort to enforce sanctions on Venezuela, marking the fifth vessel taken in recent weeks amid a growing naval presence in the Caribbean. Targeting the “Ghost” Fleet US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described the seized tanker, Olina, as part of a “ghost” fleet — vessels accused of concealing their identity to transport embargoed oil. According to officials, the tanker attempted to evade US forces after leaving Venezuela. Noem warned that these ships “will not outrun justice,” emphasizing that false claims of nationality would not protect them. The seizure…
US President Donald Trump has directed the United States to leave dozens of international organisations. Many of these groups focus on climate change and environmental protection. Nearly half of the 66 affected organisations are linked to the United Nations. The list includes the Framework Convention on Climate Change, which serves as the foundation of global climate cooperation. The decision also affects organisations working on development, gender equality, and conflict prevention. The administration has repeatedly criticised these areas as ideological or globalist. The White House said these organisations no longer serve American interests and promote hostile or ineffective agendas. White House…
Since late December, demonstrations across Iran have grown increasingly violent, with the Norway-based Iran Human Rights NGO reporting that at least 45 protesters have been killed by security forces. What began as protests over the country’s struggling economy has escalated into a wider challenge to the government’s authority. Mass Protests and Chants Across Tehran On Thursday night, residents in Tehran and other cities rallied in response to calls from exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi for a mass demonstration. Witnesses described streets and neighborhoods filled with chants of “Death to the dictator!” and “Death to the Islamic Republic!” Some protesters also…
People who stop taking weight-loss injections regain the weight they lost in under two years, according to a large new analysis. The study examined GLP-1 agonist medications, originally developed for diabetes, which suppress appetite by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone. Researchers from the University of Oxford reviewed 37 studies involving more than 9,000 participants, with findings published in the BMJ. On average, participants regained weight at a rate of 0.4kg per month after stopping treatment and returned to their original weight within 1.7 years. Weight regain occurred almost four times faster than in behavioural weight-loss programmes such as diet and exercise…
Across the U.S., grassroots and community leaders are turning local experiences with gun violence into action that influences legislation and political engagement. These leaders are working to create reforms that were once seen as too divisive to address. Local activists are meeting with lawmakers, organizing community programs, and using public forums to share real-life experiences. Their goal is to inform policy decisions with evidence and firsthand knowledge of the effects of gun violence. By doing so, they hope to build understanding and find practical solutions. Many grassroots leaders emphasize education and collaboration. They host workshops, town halls, and social media…
New guidance combines tradition with modern nutrition priorities US officials unveiled revised dietary guidelines on Wednesday, blending long-standing nutrition advice with fresh focus areas.

He described the guidance as practical, clear, and easy to follow. The 2020 guidelines spanned nearly 150 pages, providing detailed recommendations for all age groups. The new edition condenses guidance to a few…
US President Donald Trump said Venezuela will transfer up to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States.

He shared the news on social media. He said the oil would sell at market prices. He added that he would control the revenue. He said the proceeds would benefit people in Venezuela and the United States. Trump said US oil companies would restart operations in Venezuela quickly. He…
Greenland, the world’s largest island, has become a focal point of international attention after the Trump administration signaled that the use of military force remains “an option” in pursuing U.S. influence over the Arctic territory. The island’s location and resources make it a strategic prize for global powers. Situated off Canada’s northeastern coast, more than two-thirds of Greenland lies within the Arctic Circle, giving it critical importance for North American defense, missile monitoring, and naval operations through the GIUK Gap—a key corridor for NATO surveillance of Russian movements. U.S. Signals Interest in Greenland White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said…
Nottingham Forest boosted their survival hopes with a late comeback win over West Ham United. West Ham led early through a Tomas Soucek effort but failed to build control. A disallowed goal for Crysencio Summerville proved pivotal moments after the restart. Forest responded immediately as Nicolás Domínguez headed an equaliser from a corner. West Ham’s defensive fragility resurfaced late when goalkeeper Alphonse Areola clumsily fouled Morgan Gibbs-White. After a VAR review, Gibbs-White converted the 89th-minute penalty to seal the win. The result left West Ham winless in 10 matches and seven points adrift of Forest. Pressure continues to mount on…
